IWACU Rock Reggae
Iwacu means 'home' , the place where we feel good. Iwacu is a mixture between the Jamaican and the African reggae in a reggae dub style. The lyrics are in English and kinyarwanda .

Created in 2014 by some reggae lovers, Iwacu performs his own compositions in a rock reggae arrangement from the 70's.
A first album EP 4 tracks was released this summer by streaming and is free to download on the mx3.ch website.
